Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the development's effect on the setting of the Tithe Barn and Church of St Michael and All Angels
- the character and appearance of the Cosby Conservation Area
- whether there are any public benefits that would outweigh any identified harms
What decided it
The two rear porches' considerable visual prominence and scale, disproportionate to the terrace's modest character, caused less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting of the listed buildings and conservation area character, with no public benefits to justify this harm.
